Bug Description

Hello,

using wl module, BCM 4313 14e4:4727 cannot connect to a WPA-PSK protected network. Using the brcmsmac module it connects (but with the low signal bug of this module).

Other hardware is connected to this AP without problem.

Here is the output of syslog when trying to connect:

(i modified mac adresses)

I think the problem is located when this line pop:
WPA: IE in 3/4 msg does not match with IE in Beacon/ProbeResp (src=00:19:5b:43:XX:XX)
